NHTSA complaint #10182098, filed 2007-02“The driver's seat belt locks up randomly and can not be pulled out to fasten across the driver.

One time I was not able to release it (one complete failure) and had to drive home without my seatbelt fastened. The reason for filing this complaint is because I have an average of 1 failure a day since I've owned the vehicle. This is extremely frustrating, embarrassing, and time consuming. …”
